To all who'm. it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK J. Masnnw, a citizen of the United States,residing at Billings, county of Yellowstone, and State of Montana, haveinvented, certain new and useful Improvements in Toasters or Broilers,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toasters or broilers.

The object of the present invention is the provision of a double frametoaster or broiler of improved and novel construction havingsupplemental supports connected to the outer faces of the respectivebroiler or toaster frames which hold the toaster or broiler raised fromthe surface of the range and allow; the bread to toast, or the meat tobroil, more evenly, prevent the bread or meat from coming in contactwith the range, thus obviating scorching or blackening, insure propertoasting or broiling effects in a minimum time without danger of damageto the meat or bread, and at the same time obviate the necessity ofopening the double frames and reversing the bread or meat therobetwcenwhen one side has been toasted or broiled and the other side is to besubmitted to the heat.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a novel frameadapted for separate use or for attachment to an ordinary toaster orbroiler to support the toaster or broiler in a raised arrangement sothat contact of the bread or meat with the range is prevented; theinven: tion also contemplates the provision of improved meaiis forfastening the device to an ordinary toaster or broiler. The invention isset forth fully hereinafter and the novel features are recited in theappended claims.

In the accompanying drawingsz-Figure 1 is a perspective view of theinvention applied to an ordinary toaster or broiler; Fig. 2, a viewshowing the toaster orbroiler, equipped with the invention, opened out;

Fig. 3, a detail view of the attachment by itself; and.

Fig. 4, a view showing a modified form of the invention.

The numerals l and 2 represent the parts of an ordinary double framewire broiler or toaster.

I propose to apply my invention to either of the parts 1 or 2, or toboth of them, the latter being preferable as the toaster or broiler canthen be laid down on the range without reference to which side isuppermost and it permits reversal without removing the bread or meatfrom between the frames.

The numeral 3 represents my improved attachment which is preferablymade'from a single band of metal of square shape, having two holes 4 ineach side, through any of which the wires 5 may be passed and bentaround the wires of the parts 1 and 2 ar d twisted together, as shown at6. I i

In the modification shown in Fig. 4, hooks or lugs 7, which are integralwith the frame 3, are employed, the same being adapted to be twistedaround the wires of the parts 1 and 2 of the toaster or broiler.

In using the invention, the frame 3 may be used by itself and the meator bread simply rested thereupon, the frame setting on the-range.

When the invention is used in connection with an ordinary toaster orbroiler, as shown at l and 2, the frames 3 are attached to the parts 1and 2 and afford a support for holding the broiler or toaster itselfraised from the range or stove, in which case the bread or meat is laidbetween the parts 1 and 2.

.As shown in Fig. 2, the broiler or toaster may be opened out toaccommodate double the quantity of meat or bread, the latter beingreversed by using a fork or other utensil when desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:'

1. A toaster 0r broiler comprising a pair of frames movably connectedtogether, and independent supplemental supports respectively attached tothe outer faces of the frames aforesaid and projecting therefrom insuperposed relation thereto, thereby making provision for support of thetoaster or broiler from either side thereof or for supporting bothframes in extended relation to each other.

2. A broiler or toaster comprising a pair of frames movably connectedtogether and having matching handles, and independent open band-likeframes respectively attached to the outer faces of the frames aforesaidand projecting therefrom in superposed relation thereto, there by makingprovision for support of the toaster or broiler from either side thereofor for supporting both frames in extended relation to each other.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
